Now if you ask me, it is a great tool to create databases and/or organize a efficient business system. My group and I completed a project, which basically was creating a database for a kids’ skating lesson program. I learned how to create and modify reports, queries, forms and tables. This project definitely helped me understand the major concepts associated with Microsoft Access.

Attached is our project and a documentation on how to use data from the access database to run the skating program!

The first task my group and I were given were, to create our team charter. It seemed like an easy job, but little did we know how hard it was to agree on what the team charter would reflect. After a few days, hours and weeks of tweaking the team charter, we had produced something that we could go to, to solve little problems that could possibly arise.

It was all about RIM’s Blackberrys’ and Apple’s iPhone. I learned a lot about the mobile phone industry from this case study, and we did a good job completing this assignment!

We had to pick a topic, and then use information from Wikipedia to create an information guide. In addition, when we completed the assignment, we posted it on LuLu.com, to see if we could make some sales!

Our main task in this case study was to figure out pricing for a new product that Canty was going to introduce into the market.

We learned how to create a 10×10 Multiplication Table by inserting a properly set up mixed cell reference in one cell and copying it over to other cells in the table.

Basketball isn’t just a sport, it is a part of my life. I have been playing basketball my whole life, and I absoloutely adore it! The scoring, the running, the teams, the fun, I love it all. It is also a source of exercise, and I try to play as much as I can around my busy schedule of school and work. Even though I don’t get to play it as much as I did before, it will always be one of my favourite hobbies!
